Locked up for unlocking scam

A tax consultant has been jailed for four years for a pension unlocking scam that transferred £16.5m from an occupational scheme.

Anil Kumar of The Broadway, Letchworth, Herts was found guilty of cheating the public revenue of £5.5m tax through the scam that earned him and his partner Peter Rumball £2m in commission between 1997 and 2000.

A warrant for arrest is outstanding on Rumball who left the UK for the Philippines in 2001.
